Christian Family Medicine & Pediatrics in Henderson has opened in a new clinic to provide more health care services to the Henderson community. The new location is at 656 Kimberly Drive, which is off U.S. 45 next to Tractor Supply and Brenda’s Kitchen.
The clinic, which opened Monday in the new building, offers primary care and walk-in acute care for the entire family, from newborns to the elderly.
Family Nurse Practitioner Amanda Hearn, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, has been seeing patients at the clinic’s former location – 236 North Avenue in Henderson – for seven years. Joining her in the new location are a pediatric nurse practitioner, a family nurse practitioner and two part-time nurse practitioners.

“The new location allows us to better serve our patients in the Henderson area and provide specialized pediatric care for our youngest patients,” said Ruste Via, CEO of Christian Family Medicine & Pediatrics. “We’re excited to be able to offer more services in Chester County.”
